Social media moves fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it.
Bueller?
Ok, so this is one of our favorite times of the year at Social Fresh. We get to do a lot of wrap up posts. Many of which highlight people and companies we all might of missed the chance to congratulate at some point during the year.
